Ooba's Mexican Grill (Woodinville)

It's a polished hybrid of the fast-food and full-service genres (order at the counter, but they'll bring you your food - and your margarita!) with booths, tables, a salsa bar and friendly service. But the food's the thing, more careful and flavorful than you'd expect at these prices, from the usuals (quesadillas, fajitas, terrific fish tacos) to the less predictable (grilled fish and chili-rubbed pork). Even the burritos offer a creative spark, crafted of minted rice, white beans and extraordinary chipotle cream.
